Licenses Issued
For Temporary
Cheese Imports
The Department of Agriculture
has announced that import
licenses have been issued to
implement President Nixon’s
proclamation of April 25
authorizing a temporary increase
of 50 percent in cheese import
quotas.
Licenses have been mailed to
importers who have established
eligibility for license shares
under the regular import
program. They are for an ad
ditional 50 percent of each im
porter’s annual share.
The increase authorized by the
proclamation amounts to about
64 million pounds. The increase is

intended to stabilize prices over
the next several months until
expanded domestic cheese
production reaches the market.
Effective March 15, the
Department’s support program
for manufacturing milk was
restructured to encourage in
creasing flows of milk into cheese
production. The Commodity
Credit Corporation’s purchase
price for Grade A Cheddar
cheese was increased from 54.75
cents per pound to 62 cents per
pound, whUe the price for butter
(New York area) was reduced
from 68.75 cents to 62 cents per
pound. As a result of these
changes, the rising trend in
cheese production is expected to
be accelerated further and should
be particularly heavy during the
flush milk production season
which is now beginning. Cheese
produced from this milk should
begin reaching the market in the
summer.
The President’s action, taking
these supply conditions into
consideration, requires the
specially-authorized imports to
be brought in not later than July
31, 1973. The country shares
under the various cheese quotas
have been allocated to facilitate
importation. While the basic
overall pattern is a 50 percent
increase in the quotas and
country allocations, a few
modifications have been made to
encourage maximum utilization
of the overall authorization. For
example, Finland holds
allocations under the regular
annual quotas for Emmenthaler,
Gruyere-process, and the
miscellaneous tariff category of
“Other” cheese, but currently
lacks supplies to make additional
deliveries by July 31. Con
sequently, the shares Finland
would have received under an
across-the-board quota increase
have been redistributed to other
major supplying countries of the
types of cheese concerned.
Imports of most cheese are
controlled by import quotas
established by various
Presidential Proclamations since
1953 under the authority of
Section 22 of the Agricultural
359-2688
548-2116
393-3906
867-3741
Adjustment Act, as amended.
Section 22 provides that quotas
shall be established whenever
imports materially interfere
with, or threaten to interfere
with, the price support programs
of the Department of Agriculture.
Section 22 also provides that
quotas may be modified by the
President because of changed
circumstances.
All Section 22 actions require
an investigation and report to the
President by the U. S. Tariff
Commission. In the current
action, the Commission found
it works!
